Guys, this is not new development. It’s happened for as long as he can remember. I think @DoNotKnowMuch knows a little, anyway. Sometimes he’ll have bacon and eggs with a pancake on the side, and it doesn’t happen then. It only seems to be when a pancake is the main breakfast food. Too much sugar (and yes, coffee, ick) first thing in the day is probably the answer.
Overall, he eats OK. It isn’t a diet I’d want for myself, but I’m not a 6 foot, 210 pound male, either.
For those who are assuming pancakes and waffles are a mainstay for breakfast your assumptions are wrong. He has them as a meal only a few of times a year. He had a waffle yesterday, at a restaurant that is famous for their waffles, and when he got shaky he mentioned it, so I thought I’d ask the question.
@DoNotKnowMuch…you asked “Doesn’t everyone get shaky a couple of hours after eating pancakes…” I don’t…I don’t think. Or maybe I just don’t notice. (And I can sit and eat pancakes for hours!)
Next time he goes to the doc (which is too rarely) I’ll try to remember to ask him to mention it. With all the blood work they’ve been doing in the last 8 years, due to blood clots, you’d think they’d check for diabetes just for the hell of it at some point. But IDK.
